Aim: To investigate the influence of different stimulators on cytokines secretion of tumor-draining lymph node (TDLN) cells and study antitumor effects and mechanism of TDLN cells.

Methods: IL-12 p70, IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha and NO which were secreted by TDLN cells induced by different stimulators (IL-2 group, IL-2+autologous tumor antigen group, IL-2+GM-CSF+IL-4+autologous tumor antigen group and IL-2+GM-CSF+IL-4+LPS group) were detected by ELISA and Griess after TDLN cells were stimulated for 7, 14 and 21 d.

Results: The rate of CD83(+) cells of TDLN cells induced by IL-2+GM-CSF+IL-4+autologous tumor antigen and IL-2+GM-CSF+IL-4+LPS was significantly increased. The TDLN cells in the two groups secreted much more IL-12 p70, IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha than IL-2 group and IL-2+autologous tumor antigen group. The TDLN cells stimulated by IL-2+GM-CSF+IL-4+LPS secreted significantly more NO than the other three groups. TDLN cells in each group secreted IL-12 p70, IFN-gamma and NO at the highest level after TDLN cells were stimulated for 14 d.

Conclusion: Different stimulators can make TDLN cells produce different number of CD83(+) cells (DC), which gives TDLN cells different antitumor activity.

Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are organized immune cell aggregates that arise in chronic inflammatory conditions. In cancer, TLS are associated with better prognosis and enhanced response to immunotherapy, making these structures attractive therapeutic targets. However, the mechanisms regulating TLS formation and maintenance in cancer are incompletely understood.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the prognostic impact of lymph node metastasis (LNM) on patients with colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM) and elucidate the underlying immune mechanisms using multiomics profiling.

Methods: We enrolled patients with CRLM from the US Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) cohort and a multicenter Chinese cohort, integrating bulk RNA sequencing, single-cell RNA sequencing and proteomics data. The cancer-specific survival (CSS) and immune profiles of the tumor-draining lymph nodes (TDLNs), primary tumors and liver metastasis were compared between patients with and without LNM.

Targeting P4HA1 promotes CD8 T cell progenitor expansion toward immune memory and systemic anti-tumor immunity.

Successful immunotherapy relies on both intratumoral and systemic immunity, which is yet to be achieved for most patients with cancer. Here, we identify P4HA1, encoding prolyl 4-hydroxylase 1, as a crucial regulator of CD8 T cell differentiation strongly upregulated in tumor-draining lymph nodes (TDLNs) and hypoxic tumor microenvironment. P4HA1 accumulates in mitochondria, disrupting the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle through aberrant α-ketoglutarate and succinate metabolism, promoting mitochondria unfitness and exhaustion while suppressing progenitor expansion.

Microwave Ablation Combined with Flt3L Provokes Tumor-Specific Memory CD8 T Cells-Mediated Antitumor Immunity in Response to PD-1 Blockade.

R. China.

For medically inoperable non-small cell lung cancer, microwave ablation (MWA) represents a super minimally invasive alternative treatment. However, tumor recurrence remains a concern. Here, it is demonstrated that the combination of MWA with Flt3L significantly inhibits tumor recurrence by CD8 central memory T (T)-like cell-dependent antitumor immune responses within the tumor-draining lymph nodes (TdLN).

Article Synopsis
  • OSCC recurrence and mortality rates remain high despite various treatments, highlighting the need for improved prognostic models and biomarkers, particularly focusing on tumor-draining lymph nodes (TDLNs) and T regulatory cells (Tregs).
  • A study of 49 OSCC patients found that certain immune cell markers in TDLNs, like elevated FoxP3+CD4+ and TIGIT+CD8+ cells, were linked to worse disease-free survival, while high levels of CXCR5+CD4+ cells indicated better outcomes.
  • The research suggests that the expression of immune checkpoints on T cells within TDLNs could serve as critical prognostic biomarkers, pointing towards the potential benefits of using neoadjuvant immunotherapy to enhance
